​Walking is also a great form of safe, low-intensity exercise – simple and effective – to maintain overall health.

​1. Cardiovascular Health

​Walking, especially brisk walking, may boost your cardiovascular health and may lower the risk of a heart disease and stroke.

​2. Brain Health

​Walking on a daily basis may increase blood oxygen flow to the brain.

​3. Boost Your Mood

​Walking, just like most physical activities, encourages your brain to release endorphins, which are neurochemicals that improve your mood.

​4. Endurance

​Regular walking can be a great way to build endurance and strength in your body.

​5. Weight Maintenance

​It helps burn calories and help build endurance and strength, hence, walking is beneficial in weight management.

​Walking and nutrition

​Walking must be combined with a calorie-deficit diet for sustaining health goals.

​An important point to note here is that the number of calories you burn per walk depends on multiple factors, including your body weight, walking speed/type of walk, duration of the walk, and the frequency of your walk workout.
